Philippine Army Col. Ulysis Laude, the assistant chief of staff of operations of Northern Luzon Command, speaks to U.S. Marines assigned to Marine Rotational Force-Southeast Asia, I Marine Expeditionary Force, and Armed Forces of the Philippines service members during an opening ceremony for a battle staff training exercise at Camp Aquino, Clark, Philippines, Feb. 18, 2026. The BST allowed MRF-SEA and AFP service members to learn how to implement command and control procedures as a joint watch floor by testing systems, evaluating processes and validating standard operation procedures for crisis or conflict. MRF-SEA is a flexible task force that varies in size, capability, and composition, to accomplish different types of missions as a purpose-built unit, maintaining a forward presence and enhancing Marine Corps crisis and contingency response capabilities. MRF-SEA is uniquely organized to support security cooperation and advance mutual security objectives shared with Southeast Asian Allies and partners. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Luis Agostini)
